2 Readings, Assignments, Labs, Tests, and ToDoIndex

Read (at least) these things (All The Words):
1. Week 14 Notes HTML – this file – Read All The Words
2. Unix/Linux Boot Process, GRUB, Run Levels, services, telinit, chkconfig
3. Running commands on remote servers
4. Data Mining
5. List of Commands You Should Know
6. Video Tutorials on Lynda.com
Create your lynda.com account and watch Unix for Mac OS X Users

2.1 Assignments and Lab work this weekIndex

There are now three quizzes that you need to complete on Blackboard as part of your term Quiz mark.
Check the due date for each assignment and put a reminder in your agenda, calendar, and digital assistant.
Read All The Words, Do, and then Submit via Blackboard:
- Bonus (optional) Assignment #04 HTML – the VIM text editor
- Bonus (optional) Assignment #09 HTML – Midterm #2 corrections
  - There is a checking program available to check your file format for this bonus assignment, but only people who Read All These Words will know about it. Wrong format means no marks.
- Assignment #13 HTML – CentOS: Partitions, File Systems, single user, run levels, services
- Really do Read All The Words. You don’t get a second chance to get it right.
- Work on the above assignments in your lab period; ask questions.

2.2 Tests and quizzesIndex

For full marks, read the Test Instructions (all the words) before your final exam.

Attend a free workshop on Preparing for Exams - Test Taking Skills and Test Anxiety April 14.

All three Quizzes are open until the Final Exam, then they are closed.
- Quizzes are random samples and thus do not cover all of the questions in the practice test PDF file. Do the PDF file to be fully prepared.
Final Exam: 180 minutes; Tuesday April 21 11am to 2pm in room C144
- Take a bathroom break before you sit down for three hours!
- A third set of practice questions is posted. See Practice Tests and Answers. The third quiz, based on this set of questions, will be out soon.
- The final exam emphasizes material after the second midterm test, but it covers the whole course and therefore includes material from all the practice question sets.

3 From the Class Notes link on the Course Home PageIndex

Review last week. Did you do everything assigned last week?

4 From the Classroom Whiteboard/ChalkboardIndex

Some practice questions on some of the material for the final exam are posted. See Practice Tests and Answers.

5 Real Sysadmin WorkIndex

5.1 Linus Torvalds uses `cut`, `sort`, and `uniq -c`Index

Ever wonder about the habits of kernel developers? Who is a night-owl, and who has a 9-5 job? Who has kids? https://plus.google.com/+LinusTorvalds/posts/9EuaUEgarfu

5.2 Linux RapIndex

5.3 Learning the MaterialIndex

You learn the material because you want to be a Computer Systems Technician.
- You like doing this work; you want to be good at it.
Review your mistakes on the midterm tests because questions re-appear.
For practice tests and quizzes, see the Practice Test README
Review the commands used in each lab worksheet (and their common options).
- Unix/Linux Command List
Review how the shell works: GLOB, redirection, quotes
- Know why the shell behaves that way. Copy/paste teaches you nothing.
- process quotes, split on semicolons and pipes next, then do redirection
What are the Four Rules for Output Redirection? Three Rules for Pipes?
- Unix Shell I/O Redirection (including Pipes)

5.4 Attacks on the Course Linux ServerIndex

Count the attacks: fgrep -c "refused connect" /var/log/auth.log
Another way to count the lines (less efficient): fgrep "refused connect" /var/log/auth.log | wc
Only show the last 10 lines: fgrep 'refused connect' /var/log/auth.log | tail
See the current list of evil host IPs: less /etc/hosts.evil

6 Linux Rap VideoIndex

I did a Linux Rap at the start of class on April 6, 2015.

“Only do, what only you can do.” - E.W.Dijkstra(?), John Maxwell(?), John Harvey Jones(?), others(?)…

With this quote firmly in mind, I solicited four words from the students at the start of my Linux lecture class, wrote them on the board, put on a 1970s batik shirt, yellow pants, and sunglasses, and performed a short freestyle, completely improvised rap that included all of the words they gave me.

Ed Barrick has shared a video with you on YouTube:
Good morning Professor. As discussed, please find the link below to the YouTube video of this mornings rap.
I have applied Creative Commons licensing to the video. You are free to post it, and use it as you see fit.
Thanks
Ed
